How many 420 x 280 tiles in a square metre (m2)?
The quantity of 420 x 280 tiles in a square metre (m2) equals 9 tiles. Assuming dimensions of the tile width and height are in millimetre measurements, which equates to 42cm x 28cm tiles in a square metre.
9 tiles in 1m2
How To calculate how many 420x280 tiles there are in a m2
To calculate how many 420x280 tiles there are in 1 square metre, use this method:
Step 1:
Multiply the width and height of one tile. So in this case the area of one tile is:
420mm x 280mm =
0.1176 m2
or
42cm x 28cm =
0.1176 m2
Step 2:
Divide 1m by the area of one tile to give you the number of 420mm x 280mm tiles in a m2: 1m / 0.1176 = 8.5 Tiles per m2
Step 3:
NOTE: It is only possible to buy whole tiles, therefore you need to round up 8.5 tiles to 9 tiles
8.5 tiles =9 tiles required
